  • Each basecoat composition BC1 to BC11 was applied at three different coat weights, as shown in Table 3. Extended footage was run for each formula and coat weight combination. Samples were taken from each of these conditions for testing, and the remaining footage was used to produce topcoated prototypes. Basecoated samples were tested as-is without any additional processing. All testing was performed under TAPPI standard conditions. Print Surf roughness measurements were conducted using 10 psi pressure with a soft backing (PPS10S). The results are displayed in Table 3.

  • the double coated samples were cut into sheets. These sheets were calendered using a single-nip soft roll calender. The soft roll had a Shore D hardness of 85. Sheets were calendered through one nip at 300 fpm, 225 °F and 150 pli pressure. Only calendered topcoated samples were tested.

  • Fig. 4 plots roughness (PPS10S) of basecoated-only control sample BC1 vs. basecoated-only samples BC2 to BC5 over a range of basecoat weights.

  • BC1/TC1 is the combination of a typical latex basecoat with a typical latex topcoat which serves as a reference.
  • BC2/TC3 and BC4/TC3 are combinations of basecoats of the present description with topcoats of the present description. Samples with a basecoat weight closest to 7.91b were selected for topcoating. The resulting coatings for BC2/TC3 and BC4/TC3 have acceptable surface roughness which is comparable the reference.
  • Fig. 8 plots roughness (PPS10S) after calendering of basecoated and topcoated control sample BC1/TC1 vs. basecoated and topcoated samples of the present description.
  • These basecoated and topcoated samples of the present description coatings all use a 50/50 blend of coarse ground calcium carbonate and hyperplaty clay in the basecoat. The level of water-soluble polymer binder was held constant. Only the humectant levels were varied. Samples with a basecoat weight closest to 81b were used for topcoating. These samples demonstrate a wide range of combinations of the basecoats and topcoats of the present description that give equal or slightly better roughness than the reference basecoated and topcoated control sample BC1/TC1. Thus, by using hyperplaty clay in the basecoat, it was possible to make double coated samples without latex that have equal or better roughness values than the latex control sample.
  • Fig. 9 plots roughness (PPS10S) after calendering of basecoated and topcoated control sample BC1/TC1 vs. basecoated and topcoated samples of the present description.
  • These basecoated and topcoated samples of the present description coatings all use a 50/50 blend of coarse ground calcium carbonate and hyperplaty clay in the basecoat. Samples with a basecoat weight closest to 9.71b were used for topcoating.
  • the basecoated and topcoated samples of the present description have equal or better roughness values, regardless of the presence or absence of crosslinker.
  • One method to evaluate the printing performance of coated paper is to measure the ink receptivity also known as ink holdout.
  • ink holdout a red high viscosity oil was applied in excess to the sample surface and allowed to sit for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, the excess was thoroughly wiped away and the remaining stain was analyzed. The amount of ink remaining in the surface was measured as the decrease in brightness due to ink staining. This was reported as the percent decrease in brightness. The higher the number, the more ink was absorbed instead of being held out on the surface.
  • the ink stain results are shown in Table 5. Tested samples included those that had both basecoat and topcoat weights of 8.51b.
  • Table 5 shows that all of the samples with basecoat and topcoat of the present description, which include a water-soluble polymer binder and a pigment, have significantly improved ink holdout compared to the reference control sample BC1/TC1.
